This may have been asked before. I searched and couldnt find info, or know what to search to find the info..

I had to remove my passenger side wheel guard because it was shreddded by previous owner neglect....Then I saw this just hanging.. it has cover on top of it , and it looks liek I can remove it . What is its function? I have fogs already (95 Clubsport)

air temp sensor for the air ducts in the bumper.

is it supposed to just hang out like that?im going to take a WILD guess and say no... but ive never seen anything like that.

it should be in the brake air ducts, of course if your fender liners got shredded the ducts are probably long gone

interesting.. anyone have a picture of how its supposed to look? im going to purchase new fender liners within the next few days..

Is there a chance that this would cause me a Check engine light???

its a 95(OBDI)..Just got a newer low mileage engine installed. I dont have a scanner, and the pedal trick doesnt work for my particular year, atleast thats what ive been told, and after trying the pedal trick 100 times, if it did work it wouldve ..

I might buy a Peake scanner, or carsoft.

its hanging down on mine too! but my wheel wells are removed. while im on here anyone selling good condition wells and a driver side fender? rust has gotten a good portion of my fender and its caved in at the bottom so my side skirt doesnt sit right any more.
